Studes in Roadside Americana photos

[BRUCESTUDE]

Is #5757, the same lady that I thought wanted to slug the photographer in #5682?

Looks like it! She sure seems happier with the 4dr Champion.......maybe the '50 Starlight was hubby's "impulse buy".

These two were taken in Yakima WA 1955, at the machine shop which used to be on the east end of Yakima Ave where the free-way overpass now stands. The unit in the truck is an ammonia compressor, which was used to refrigerate fruit storage warehouses in the valley until the early 60's when Freon began to take over. the woman in the door way is my grandmother.

Dig the dual tires! Great shot of a hard working M-series. BTW the fruit industry has changed back to ammonia; as I Yakima firefighter I've had my share of ammonia responses!

Remember when you could leave your windows open while parked at a shopping mall and not have to worry?
